Rancho San Diego, California-Nearly two decades after the body parts were found in the Rancho trash can in San Diego, the authorities said they have identified the victim and arrested a suspect who is believed to be related to the murder.

Detailed information about the development is expected to be shared by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department at 1 pm on Friday. The department said on Thursday that its homicide department used investigative genetic genealogy to resolve the case, noting that this is the first time the technology has been used locally to identify victims and was subsequently arrested.
